Spending raises questions

Chad Selweski quotes Representative Levin in the Jan. 5 issue of the Macomb Daily that the elimination of the “extra weeks” of unemployment payments will cost the economy $400 million a week and 20,000 jobs. So Representative Levin is proposing to spend $25 billion (half of Bill Gates net worth or taxing my grandchildren) to support his bill.

Also difficult to understand, is how a newspaper can justify reporting such a spending of taxpayer money without reporting the effect of how this non productive money must first come from someone’s paycheck, and ultimately become a drain on their standard of living.
